This charming little town is located in Wales with its northern and eastern boundaries bordering England. Surrounded by spectacular countryside and situated close to the banks of the River Wye, Hay is an outdoor activities hotspot as well as a town with a dark history to explore.

Hay-on-Wye is commonly referred to as the ‘town of books’ and its 30+ bookshops offer over 1 million books for sale on every conceivable subject. Time your visit for the end of May to enjoy to the Hay Literary Festival where you can attend talks with eminent authors, scientists, economists, comedians and even the odd former world leader!
